Aqua Ear Drops 5ml

Aqua Ear Drop is used for the following:

• Managing external ear infections known as otitis externa or swimmer's ear

• Providing relief from ear pain, itching and inflammation due to infection

• Preventing the recurrence of ear infections

• Assisting in the healing process of infected ears

Here are some simple steps to help you use Aqua Ear Drop correctly:

• Make sure your hands are clean before handling the ear drops.

• Carefully drop the medicine into your ear without letting the dropper touch it.

• Use the solution within one month after opening the container.

• Instil 4-5 drops in the ear 3-4 times daily or as directed by your doctor.

Aqua Ear Drop is instilled topically into the ear.

Aqua Ear Drop is composed of four active ingredients that work together:

• Neomycin (0.5%): This antibiotic falls under the aminoglycoside class and operates by binding to bacterial 30S ribosomal subunits disrupting protein synthesis. This interference leads to bacterial cell death, eliminating the infection.

• Beclomethasone dipropionate (0.025%): This is a corticosteroid that suppresses inflammation by blocking the release of inflammatory mediators. This action reduces swelling, redness and itching in the affected area.

• Clotrimazole (1%): This antifungal agent belongs to the azole class and works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a crucial component of fungal cell membranes. The disruption of membrane formation leads to leakage in cellular contents resulting in death of the fungus.

• Lidocaine/Lignocaine (2%): An amide-type local anaesthetic that blocks voltage-gated sodium channels in neuronal cell membranes. By preventing depolarisation, nerve impulse generation and conduction are inhibited providing temporary relief from pain.

• Store Aqua Ear Drop at room temperature.

• Keep the medicine away from direct sunlight and heat.

• Ensure the bottle is tightly closed when not in use to avoid moisture exposure.

• Keep Aqua Ear Drop out of reach of children for safety.

• If you are prone to ear infections, consider using a swimming cap or ear plugs while swimming or bathing to prevent water from entering your ears.

• Maintain good ear hygiene by cleaning your ears gently with a damp cloth but avoid inserting any object into your ear canal.
